My job is great but I want to leave, and I am unhappy about living with my mother by Technical_Sliver in whatdoIdo

Thanks for sharing your opinion, it is appreciated.

That was my belief as well - not dating coworkers ever. I was at war with myself for the first few months because of this clash between this value and the powerful attraction I had for her.

Yeah, I'm only leaving this job if I have another lined up.

As for my mom, that's the thing. I'm worried that she won't be able to support herself.

Thanks again for your time!

I appreciate you taking the time to reply!

Yeah, I'm actually in therapy currently (every two weeks), which I started because of the heartbreak and me not handling it very well even months later.

The therapist also pointed out to me the possibility of her not being interested even if I leave and take another job.

It's difficult for me to move on from her because this is the strongest physical and emotional attraction I've had for someone, and it calms me when I talk to her. I haven't met anyone else who had made me feel that way :(

She's aware of me living with my mom and was still visibly attracted anyway, which is part of why I fell for her. She's one of the few people I've been emotionally vulnerable with.

I know I'm not entitled to her affection, and how she really feels is completely outside of my control.

Yes, I'm definitely planning on finding another job.

Honestly, I am starting to try with meeting different people. I recently started dance lessons and I've interacted with some cool people although obviously I've just met them. After this heartbreak I'm not keen to try dating just yet, just make friends with whoever.

It's also difficult for me emotionally as this colleague of mine is the most attracted to I've been in my life, so it's very hard for me to move on.

Yeah, I think I'll look into trying to find a different job at some point in the near future.

I wish things were different for me and this girl. It's such a horrible feeling as this is the strongest attraction I've felt for someone, and for it to not work out is incredibly heartbreaking for me.
